LIFE HISTORY STUDIES ON THE CODLING MOTH. 



By C. P. Gillette, Fort Collins, Colo. 



Fellow^- Workers : It is no small honor that you confer upon Colo- 

 rado in coming for the first time to the Queen Cit}' of the West at the 

 beginning of the new centurj' — the Utopian century for all true sci- 

 entific thought and the highest human development. Never before 

 have you met so far away from the time-honored centers of learning 

 in the East. To-day we are met at the very feet of tlie Rocky Moun- 

 tains and in plain view of their eternal snows, wliicli give freshness 

 to our mountain air and unite the waters that feed the two oceans 

 that wash our shores. You have not come in search of health or pleas- 

 ure, as many do, but in the interest of science, whose one object is to 

 search out the abiding truths of the Creator, and that branch of sci- 

 ence which has for its object to make "two spears of grass grow where 

 one grew before." The object is a most worth}' one. May our ses- 

 sions in this place be marked with an unusual degree of harmony and' 

 enthusiasm, which shall cause each to return to his field of labor with 

 a new and deeper interest in his work.
